Introduction

The Brazilian Butt Lift is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses fat transfer to enhance buttock volume and shape. Unlike implants, a BBL uses your own fat - first removed via liposuction from donor areas (stomach, flanks, or thighs), then purified and injected into the buttocks for a curvier, more lifted appearance.

Candidates

  • Individuals wanting enhanced buttock volume with natural-looking results

  • Those with enough donor fat (typically BMI 20–30)

  • Non-smokers in good overall health

  • Realistic expectations about size limitations and results

  • Not planning significant weight loss after surgery

  • Willing to avoid sitting directly on buttocks for 2–3 weeks post-op

Cost

BBL costs vary based on:

  • Surgeon's experience

  • Geographic location

  • Amount of fat transferred

  • Combination with other procedures (e.g., Lipo 360)

Average Cost Range:

  • Basic BBL: $8,000–$12,000

  • BBL + Lipo 360: $12,000–$15,000

Benefits

  • Natural-looking enhancement using your own fat (no implants)

  • Two procedures in one: Removes unwanted fat + enhances buttocks

  • Customizable shape (round, heart-shaped, or athletic lift)

  • Lower risk of rejection compared to implants

  • Improved body proportions and silhouette

  • Long-lasting results with stable weight

Risks and Safety

  • Fat absorption (20–30% of transferred fat may not survive)

  • Asymmetry or irregularities in shape

  • Fat embolism (rare but serious)

  • Infection or bleeding

  • Changes in skin sensation (usually temporary)

  • Need for revision surgery in some cases

Safety Tips

  • Choose a board-certified surgeon with extensive BBL experience

  • Verify surgical facility accreditation

  • Follow all pre-op instructions (stop smoking, avoid certain medications)

  • Wear compression garments as directed

  • Sleep on your stomach/side for 6–8 weeks post-op

  • Attend all follow-up appointments
